Introduction

United States Earthquakes, 1974 contains descriptions of all earthquakes that were felt or caused damage in the U.S. and nearby territories during the year. Each descrip­ tion includes pertinent instrumental data (date, origin time, geographic location, and depth, when available), a brief account of the area affected, and reported effects on people and inanimate objects. Earthquakes are listed chronologically in 11 regions, an arrangement selected principally to highlight natural seismic divisions. The regions are: 1) Northeastern, which includes New Eng­ land and the State of New York; 2) Eastern, which in­ cludes the central Appalachian Mountains area and the region around Charleston, S.C.; 3) Central, which en­ compasses the area between the Eastern Region and the Rocky Mountains; 4) Western Mountain, which includes all remaining States except those on the West Coast; 5) California and Western Nevada; 6) Washington and Oregon; 7) Alaska; 8) Hawaii; 9) Panama Canal Zone; 10) Puerto Rico; and 11) Virgin Islands.

Instrumental data used by the U.S. Geological Survey to compute earthquake epicenters listed in the "Earth­ quake Descriptions" section and in tables 1, 2, and 4, have been obtained from NOAA, USGS, and cooperating seismograph observatories both domestic and foreign. Sources of noninstrumental data (macroseismic informa­ tion) include questionnaire canvasses of U.S. Post Of­ fices; reports from seismology collaborators; newspaper clippings; bulletins of the Seismological Society of America; special reports of other organizations; and felt data collected by NOAA's National Weather Service and seismology collaborators.

NATIONAL GEOPHYSICAL ANDSOLAR-TERRESTRIAL DATA

CENTER

The National Geophysical and Solar-Tejrestrial Data Center (NGSDC) is one of the six major facilities of NOAA's Environmental Data Service. NGSDC's Solid Earth Data Services Division is responsible for data ac­

tivities in the field of seismology. Its services include preparing local and regional seismic histories for en­ gineers, actuaries, and other scientists, and answering direct inquiries from the public on all aspects of historical earthquakes. Additional services and products include publishing annual earthquake summaries and revised his­ torical earthquake reports; and making available in several formats copies of seismograms, accelerograms, dis­ placement meter records, digitized strong-motion seis­ mograms, and epicenter lists. Many of these products and services are based on seismic records or other data that have originated with USGS recording networks or with USGS data-reduction facilities. Information concerning services and products of NGSDC may be obtained from the National Geophysical and Solar-Terrestrial Data Center, NOAA/EDS, Boulder, Colo. 80302. Some of these seismological services and products are described in the following paragraphs.

Earthquake Data FileThe earthquake data file lists worldwide hypocenters

geographically and chronologically cm»3^ 1900-1974. (Additional noninstrumental data, intensity V aftd-above, are available for the United States from June 1638.) The file is available on magnetic tape and 16-mm microfilms- Monthly updates on punched cards also may be pur­ chased. The file gives date, origin time, geographic loca­ tion, focal depth, magnitude, and intensity (Modified Mercalli) for each event when available. Computer searches for one, or combination, of the parameters above can be made. Additional information is available on re­ quest.

Strong-Motion Earthquake DataAll records in the strong-motion file, dating from the

initial accelerograms recorded in 1932, are available. Records for the years 1932-1970 may be purchased on seven reels of 35-mm microfilm, as 70-mm film chips, or as full-size paper copies. Digitized accelerograms may be obtained on magnetic tape or punched cards. The same information (through 1971) is described in geographic arrangement in Key to Geophysical Records Documenta­ tion No. 2, Catalog of Strong-Motion Seismograph Sta­ tions and Records, also available from NGSDC.

Other Data

The USGS Preliminary Determination of Epicenters Monthly Listing, a chronological listing of earthquakes located throughout the world, may be purchased on 16-mm microfilm for the period 1965-1974. It contains for each earthquake the time of occurrence, geographic coordinates, region, felt and damage data, depth, mag­ nitude, and other useful information.

The USGS Earthquake Data Report, a twice-weekly compilation of data used in the computation of the report described above, is now available on 16-mm microfilm for the years 1969-1974. It contains station arrival times, individual distances, azimuths, and traveltime residuals.

The Reid Earthquake Catalog, compiled by the late Professor Harry F. Reid, is a comprehensive collection of earthquake and volcano data recorded on cards (3x5 in.) and augmented by newspaper clippings of principal earth­ quakes. The catalog, which is in chronological sequence and cross-indexed by geographical regions, covers the time from before Christ to 1931. It is available on five reels of 16-mm microfilm.

Seismograms from Worldwide Network

Seismograms ate available from all stations (124) in the Worldwide Netvyork of Standard Seismograph Stations (WWNSS), whfch operates with identical instruments. Eacksfation produces six Seismograms daily. In addition,

^records from ten high-gain, long-period stations are avail­ able beginning in January 1971. Seismograms from other selected stations foreign, Canadian, and U.S. Geological Survey networks may also be obtained. Re­ quests for these records should include time, date, station, components, and type of copies desired. Special seismo- gram packages are available (beginning in January 1974) for earthquakes of (1) magnitude 6.5-7.4, and (2) mag­ nitude 7.5 and above for WWNSS and other stations that exchange records through World Data Centers. A list of available formats and prices will be supplied upon re­ quest.

Publications

NGSDC issued the following publications in 1974: Key to Geophysical Records Documentation No. 3,

Catalog of Earthquake Photographs. This catalog gives brief descriptions and some examples of photographs of earthquake damage and felt-area and seismicity maps available from NGSDC.

Seismological Publications and Services. This pamph­ let describes earthquake data and services available from several sources within the Federal Government.

U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEYThe U.S. Geological Survey maintains an earthquake

reporting system that provides accurate and rapid epi­ center locations and magnitude values to the press and other interested groups. These results are available within 2-3 hours for earthquakes of magnitude 6l/2 or larger. Locations and magnitudes of smaller events are computed on request or on receipt of a press report.

USGS, NOAA, and cooperating seismic observatories throughout the world also furnish data for the epicenter program of USGS. Figure 1 shows locations of primary USGS and NOAA seismograph stations. Basic data from these and approximately 200 additional seismic stations are routinely telegraphed to USGS for use in epicenter computation. Some 250 other seismic stations are can­ vassed for data that are critical in the location of particular earthquakes.

During 1974, the locations of 4,921 epicenters were announced in the twice-weekly Preliminary Determina­ tion of Epicenters (PDE) list. Epicenters are published when sufficient information has accumulated to insure a reasonable degree of accuracy. The results are prelimi­ nary and do not always agree with later epicenters deter­ mined from additional seismic readings or from new data with critical azimuths and distances. For special studies, an inquiry should be made to the USGS (Denver Federal Center, Branch of Seismicity and Earth Structure, Stop 967, Box 25046, Denver, Colo. 80225) for possible re- computation of epicenters of interest.

USGS coordinates the collection of all types of earth­ quake information, with the special objective of correlat­ ing instrumentally determined earthquake locations with noninstrumental locations indicated by intensity data. This correlation is achieved through intensive regional investigations of earthquakes by local organizations and USGS. Primary data are gathered by a canvass of the epicentral area using questionnaire cards. Cities that re­ ceive questionnaire cards are selected by computer, based upon an analysis of the earthquake magnitude and pro­ jected felt area. When returned and analyzed, this infor­ mation is used to map the seismic areas of the country in order to promote public safety through a better under­ standing of earthquake phenomena. Because the success of this data-collection program depends largely on the cooperation of local officials and citizens, all who receive earthquake questionnaire cards are urged to complete and return them to the office indicated.

USGS issued the following technical reports in 1974:Preliminary Determination of Epicenters. These

twice-weekly reports list the approximate hypocentral lo-

cations of all earthquakes recorded throughout the world. They contain origin time, geographic coordinates, region of occurrence, felt and damage data, depth, magnitude, and other related information on each earthquake. The Preliminary Determination of Epicenters Monthly List­ ing, a chronological listing of the twice-weekly data, is available to the general public by subscription from the Government Printing Office.

Earthquake Data Report. This twice-weekly report contains data used in the computation of the report above, it lists station arrival times, individual distances, azimuths, and traveltime residuals.

In addition to these publications, the USGS publishes a bimonthly Earthquake Information Bulletin, which con­ tains information on past and continuing studies in seis­ mology and describes techniques used in the investigation of earthquakes and related phenomena. This two-color magazine has regular departments for new publications, meetings, and current earthquake descriptions.

EPICENTER MAPS

Figure 2 is a plot of all earthquake epicenters listed in table 1. Each earthquake is indicated by a small dot.

Figure 3 is a computer plot of 1974 earthquakes by intensity. Maximum intensities are plotted in Arabic numerals at the location that each occurred. Earthquakes of int. 1-1V are represented by dots. Bulletins of the Uni­ versity of California Seismographic Station at Berkeley and the California Institute of Technology Seismological Laboratory at Pasadena should be consulted for additional details on epicenters in California.

The selection of intensity or "felt-area" maps (figs. 4-9) is governed largely by the size of the area affected, the minimum radius generally being about 80 km (50 miles). This means that sharp, localized shocks of inten­ sity VI (which occur mostly in California) may not be shown on such maps, whereas others of intensity V and VI (which occur largely in the Eastern and Central States) often will be illustrated. Numerals on these computer- plotted maps represent the maximum Mercalli intensities at each town.

MAGNITUDE AND INTENSITY RATINGS

Magnitude is a measure of the "size" of an earthquake and is roughly related to the energy release at its focus. Although the magnitude scale has neither' 'top'' nor' 'bot­ tom" values, the highest ever recorded was magnitude 8.9 and the lowest about 3. On this logarithmic scale, a magnitude 6 shallow-focus earthquake represents elastic-wave energy approximately 30 times greater than that generated by a magnitude 5 earthquake, 900 times greater than that of a magnitude 4 shock, etc. Many factors enter into the determination of earthquake mag­ nitude, including earthquake focal depth, frequency con­ tent of the sampled energy, and the earthquake radiation pattern. The magnitude values calculated by USGS in table 1 are based on the following formulae:

M= log (AIT) + 1.66 log D + 3.3, (1)

as adopted by the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior (IASPEI; Bath, 1966,

The term intensity as applied to earthquakes represents a quantity determined from the effects on people, man- made objects, and the Earth's surface (landslides, ground fissures, etc.). Intensities are assigned according to the descriptions listed in the Modified Mercalli (MM) Inten­ sity Scale of 1931 (Wood and Neumann, 1931; see next section). There are 12 steps to the MM scale; these are discrete steps, which is the reason Roman rather than Arabic numerals are used. An earthquake in a populated area will have different intensities at different localities, owing to the distance from the epicenter of the earth­ quake, local geological conditions, structural design of buildings, and the magnitude of the earthquake.

The text of this publication gives the intensity for each city where the earthquake was felt and summaries of the strongest effects reported. Each earthquake is further characterized by its maximum intensity, and this is given in the text and in table 1.

Although it is recognized that the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale is in many instances inadequate for present-day requirements, it has been the guide used by NOAA and the USGS and will continue to be so used until a new scale has been devised and has acceptance in the engineering and seismological communities. As stated above, intensities on the MM scale are discrete numbers. However, bracketed intensities (e.g., VII-VIII) have been used in some cases in the past to describe the effects of earthquakes where the evidence for the higher intensity is less clear. This practice has been abandoned for current earthquakes. For historical earthquakes, questions con­ cerning the interpretation of intensities in such cases or in cases where new data may point to a different maximum intensity should be referred to USGS.

MODIFIED MERCALLI INTENSITY SCALE OF 1931

NOAA's National Geophysical and Solar-Terrestrial Data Center and the USGS report all intensities on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale of 1931. 1 The abridged version of this scale is given below. Values in parentheses are equivalent intensities on the Rossi-Forel Scale, which is still used in some countries to evaluate earthquake effects.

Earthquake Descriptions

INTRODUCTION

The times of earthquake occurrences in the 11 regions that follow table 1 are given in standard time. Times are expressed continuously from midnight to midnight, or 0 to 24 hours. Greenwich mean times are given in parenthe­ ses, following standard (local) times, for earthquakes with instrumental epicenters. The following symbols are used to indicate authority for arrival or origin times, epi­ centers, and/or magnitudes. Magnitudes are given only for earthquake listings without epicenters. Refer to table 1 for magnitudes determined for listings with instrumental epicenters.

the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale of 1931 (see page 6), which gives about equal weight to the disturbance of

inanimate objects and to personal reactions. When more than one degree of intensity is reported from a town, the town is assigned the highest intensity reported. Omission of an intensity rating indicates insufficient data. For brev­ ity, intensity is abbreviated int. in the descriptions that follow.

Table 1, which follows the next section, is a chronolog­ ical listing of all earthquakes and related phenomena lo­ cated in the U.S. region in 1974. It contains the follow­ ing information: date/origin time (GMT), geographic lo­ cation, region of occurrence, intensity, depth, and magnitude(s) computed. Only those earthquakes with in­ tensity designations are described in the 11 regions im­ mediately following table 1. Several instrumentally lo­ cated earthquakes described in the text are not listed in table 1, as they were reported to NGSDC after the table was prepared. Earthquakes that were not located instru­ mentally also do not appear in table 1.

Nov. 22. 00:25:55.5 (05:25). Epicenter 32.90° N., 80.15° W., South Carolina, at a depth of 18 km, USGS. Int. VI. Felt over approximately 130,000 km 2 (50,000 mi2 ) of South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia (one town) (see fig. 5). The following has been excerpted from an unpublished report prepared by A. Benson, Law En­ gineering Co., Marietta, Ga., who visted the epicentral area: "The initial stop was Saint Philip's Cathedral lo­ cated in downtown Charleston. Both the interior and the exterior of the church displayed radial cracks extending from the apex of the arches over the outside wall win­ dows. Several cracks within the building prior to the earthquake were either enlarged or lengthened following the November 22 event. The cracks extended upward through interior trim and supporting members of the church roof. In the church rectory located approximately three blocks south, the ceiling of the first-floor living room had separated from the wall approximately '/2 inch.

Damage both in the church and in the rectory was located predominately on the south side of the buildings.

"Examinations of the older buildings immediately adjacent and surrounding the Saint Philip's area revealed that many display extensive cracking of the walls. It was not possible to determine if these cracks were the result of earthquake damage, either of the latest event or previous event or the result of foundation settlement.

"The most significant [damage] occurred in the Northwood Estates area of north Charleston. There were two reports in this area consisting of a new subdivision of ranch style brick homes, slab on grade. The most extensive damage was observed at the residence of A.W. Powell. Mrs. Powell reported cracked bricks in the brick veneer of the house, stretched steel railings along the outside of the house, fresh cracks in the driveway and sidewalk, and an outside decorative brick wall which had separated from the house. The damage appeared to be legitimate. The cracked bricks were in an area of the house where they had previously experienced foundation settlement. The set­ tlement cracks resulting from these problems were evi­ dent. However, the fresh cracks through the individual bricks were apparently related to the earthquake. A sec­ ond home approximately three blocks from the Powell residence also reported cracked brick. Once again this home had previously experienced foundation settlements. However, as before, the cracks through the bricks were fresh, distinct, and definitely related to the earthquake by the owners. Additional damage reported in Charleston consisted of reports of cracked plaster, minor masonry damage, such as cracked driveways and sidewalks, and repeated reports of heavy objects such as refrigerators and beds being moved and displaced during the earthquake. The repeatability of these damage reports seems to indi­ cate that they are valid, and these occurrences are defi­ nitely earthquake related.

"Damage reports from the Summerville, South Carolina, area were similar to those encountered in Char­ leston. We investigated four reported damage cases in the Summerville area. The damage typically consisted of cracked concrete block footings, a broken windowpane, and the movement of heavy objects in homes during the earthquake. As we encountered in Charleston these events all bear similar traits and appear to be related to the earthquake."

Principal Earthquakes of the World

Table 2 lists and briefly describes the principal earthquakes of the worldduring 1974. This list is included in the United States Earthquakes series because it is not available in this format in other earthquake reports. It includes earthquakes of magnitude 6.8 or greater; shocks of smaller magnitude that were locally destructive and/or caused fatalities; and tremors of unusual interest.

Miscellaneous Activities

HORIZONTAL CONTROL SURVEYSFOR CRUSTAL MOVEMENT

STUDIES 1

In 1974, the following surveys for the study of horizon­ tal movements in the Earth's crust were made in Califor­ nia by NOAA's National Geodetic Survey.

Aqueduct Surveys-The cooperative project with the State of California Department of Water Resources was continued during 1974. Resurveys were accomplished at three sites along the aqueduct route: COLT, R1ALTO, and DEVIL.

The 1972 survey report stated that horizontal move­ ment at COLT and REALTO sites was opposite in direc­ tion to the accumulated changes from 1964 to 1970. From 1972 to 1974, the results indicate movement in agreement with that shown from 1964 to 1970. The average horizon­ tal change indicated about 3-mm right-lateral shift along the respective fault areas. Local movement continued at COLT F, but the movement was away from the fault. Since 1970, DEVIL has continued to show right-lateral movement. The amount of movement from 1970 to 1974 was about 13 mm.

TSUNAMIS2

Four tsunamis were reported to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration during 1974, including one that was recorded on National Ocean Survey tide gages.

'Prepared by B.K. Meade, NOAA, National Ocean Survey. National Geodetic Survey, Rockville, Md.

Prepared by Mark G. Spaeth, NOAA, National Weather Service, Office of Meteorology and Oceanography, Silver Spring, Md.

An earthquake on January 31 (mag. 7.0 Ms) in the Solomon Islands (7.5° S., 155.9° E.) caused a local tsunami. A 1.2- to 1.5-m rise flooded the Korovu Police Station in the Shortland Islands. The tsunami was re­ corded on the Loloho (Anewa Bay) tide gage with an amplitude of 7 to 8 cm.

A second earthquake (mag. 7.1 Ms) in the Solomon Islands on February 1 (7.4° S., 155.6° E.) also gener­ ated a tsunami which caused minor damage on Choiseul Island and in the Shortland Islands. Amplitudes reached 3 to 4.5 m. The tsunami was recorded on the Honiara tide gage with an amplitude of 10 to 13 cm.

The Kuril Islands earthquake (mag. 6.7 Ms) of Sep­ tember 27 (43.2° N., 146.7° E.) caused a tsunami which was observed at Hanasaki, Japan, with 38-cm amplitude.

An earthquake (mag. 7.6 Ms) near the coast of Peru (12.3° S., 77.8° W.) on October 3 generated a tsunami that was widely observed. Representative maximum wave heights were: 1.83 m at Callao, Peru; 0.37 m at Hilo and Kahului, Hawaii; 0.30 m at Pagopago, American Samoa; 0.15 m at Crescent City, Calif., and 0.06 m at Midway and Wake Islands.

FLUCTUATIONS IN WELL-WATER LEVELS3

In 1943, the Coast and Geodetic Survey (now the Na­ tional Ocean Survey) first published the section on well- water fluctuations in its annual United States Earthquakes series. Data for the years 1944-49 appeared in the 1949 issue. From 1950 to the present, the material has been published annually in this series.

Table 3 lists fluctuations in well-water caused princi­ pally by earthquakes. Table 4 lists the date and location of specific events that may have caused fluctuations noted in

Strong-Motion Seismograph Data'INTRODUCTION

The U.S. Geological Survey Seismic Engineering Branch (previously called Seismological Field Survey) has conducted an engineering seismology program in the United States and Latin America since 1932. The Survey, with cooperation of state and municipal governments, private industry, and state and private educational institu­ tions, has installed and maintained strong-motion seis­ mographs and analyzed the records. Results of these analyses have been published in Government bulletins

- and scientific journals, and the records, either originals or copies, have been made available to research scientists.

A list of strong-motion stations in the United States and Central and South America is available from the Seismic Engineering Branch (address in footnote). This list, which gives the geographic location of each station and instru­ mental constants, has been cataloged through 1974.

Notes pertinent to this engineering seismology program may be found in preceding issues of the United States Earthquakes series, Geological Survey Circular 717-A, Seismic Engineering Program Report, Jan.-Mar. 1975, and in Publication 41-2, Earthquake Investigations in the Western United States, 1931-1964, U.S. Department of Commerce, Coast and Geodetic Survey, Washington, D.C., 1965. The latter is much broader in scope, contain­ ing data on structural and ground vibrations and detailed descriptions of the many activities that constitute the seismological program as a whole.

ACCELEROGRAPH RECORDS

More than 130 accelerograph records were obtained during 1974 from the national strong-motion instrumenta­ tion network operated by the U.S. Geological Survey. The recordings were largely from California, although Alaska, Hawaii, and South Carolina also were repre­ sented. The South Carolina earthquake occurred about 14 km from the accelerograph station at Citadel College in

Charleston. Most of the 30 Hawaiian shocks recorded between November 30, 1974, and January 5, 1975, were of volcanic origin. Several records also were obtained from earthquakes in Peru, Nicaragua, and near Panama.

The following paragraphs summarize the results of the most important earthquakes recorded in 1974:

Lima, Peru-Jan. 5, Oct. 3, and Nov. 9

Three large earthquakes were recorded at Lima, Peru, accelerograph stations within 70 to 90 km of the epicen­ ters. Two records were obtained from each shock, one from the standard instrument located at the Geophysical Institute and the second from a Kinemetrics SMA-1 that was relocated after each event. The January 5 earthquake, magnitude 6.3, occurred 73 and 79 km from the recording stations where respective maximum accelerations were 0.16 and 0.1 Ig. The November 9 shock, magnitude 7.2, was 90 and 94 km from the accelerographs; peak accelerations were, respectively, 0.14 and O.OSg. The October 3 event, magnitude 7.6 and largest of the three earthquakes, was located 85 and 91 km from the recording stations; maximum accelerations registered were 0.25 and 0.24g. Accelerations at the Geophysical Institute ex­ ceeded O.lg for a duration of 30 seconds and exhibited a relatively high frequency content, phenomena observed in other earthquakes recorded at this site.

Hollister, California, Nov. 28

A magnitude 5.2 earthquake occurred 10 km northwest of Hollister between the Calaveras and Sargent faults, apparently on an extension of the smaller southwest- trending Busch fault. Nine accelerographs were triggered within 80 km of the epicenter, including three instruments located nearly equidistant from the earthquake at 10 km. These ^atter sites showed maximum accelerations of 0. llg at Hollister City Hall, 0. 14g at Gilroy, and 0. 12g at San Juan Bautista. This was the fourth time in 27 years that accelerations greater than O.lg were recorded at Hollister and the second time in 1974 that O.lg had been exceeded at Gilroy. Several seismoscope records were obtained from the shock, including those from a pair

of instruments located on opposite sides of the San An- dreas fault at San Juan Bautista where the largest ampli­ tudes were polarized transverse to the direction of wave travel. Similar large directional responses have been ob­ served on seismoscope records from numerous other moderate-sized earthquakes.

Table 5 presents a listing of earthquakes recorded in 1974 and the maximum accelerations scaled from those considered most significant. The earthquakes are listed in chronological order and include locality, geographic coordinates, magnitude, and maximum intensity when available. This information has been gathered principally from Preliminary Determination of Epicenters, published by USGS. The recording stations for each earthquake are listed in alphabetical order with a brief description of the building in which the instrument is housed. Maximum accelerations are listed for those events where ground

accelerations were O.OSg or where amplitudes recorded in structures (other than at the basement or ground level) were more than O.lg. These criteria were arbitrarily adopted to reduce the amount of insignificant data re­ ported. Although the maximum recorded acceleration poorly defines the nature of motion at a site, it is the most easily and quickly obtained quantity. It should be pointed out that these measurements have no relation to frequency or duration of shaking, and, in fact, the amplitudes re­ corded as maximum accelerations were observed as only one or two prominent peaks in many instances.

Data published in this section differs slightly from that previously published by USGS in Circulars 717-A and 717-B. Some minor changes in epicenters and magnitudes have been made, and maximum accelerations for some events have been rescaled.
